It is a set of scripts that leverage kexec's kdump_post mechanism to generate a text file called crash-data-{date}.txt containing some specific 'crash' command output. This allows kexec to automatically generate a high level text file that can be sent to support engineers without going through the pain of sending multi-gigabyte files over the Internet. crashdc can also be triggered by an initscript upon reboot if sysadmins prefer to avoid execution of crash commands in the kexec booted kernel context, as it sometimes require a sensible increase in the crashkernel's reserved memory. It is currently working on RHEL5, SLES10 and SLES11 and I'm working on RHEL6 enablement (x86 and x86_64). You can find more details about it here : http://cariblog.kamikamamak.com/2009/10/17/crashdc-the-architecture/ The project is hosted here : http://crashdc.sourceforge.net If some of you are insterested in more details, don't hesitate to let me know.
